Covers

At Pink Pig we’re proud of our quality. That’s why we have carefully hand-wrapped each of these covers in a beautiful, hand-made tissue paper. Each cover is speckled with silk strand and banana leaf imperfections that make it unique to you. The covers are made from a durable recycled board which protects your work on the go and acts as a nifty surface to lean on when you’re out in the field. Please note: Silk covers do not contain banana leaves/bark, and therefore require a little extra care.

Recycled White 150gsm Cartridge Description

As every millimeter of this paper is made of recycled waste there can be random faint flecks, which gives the paper a nice natural look.

This recycled cartridge is perfect for dry media, such as pencils and charcoal.

Cappuccino Brown 150gsm Cartridge Description

Always keen to meet the needs of our customers we've been working with our trusted suppliers to produce a new standard in brown paper sketchbooks. Say goodbye to thin, "paper bag" quality pages with the Cappuccino Pig.

We’ve made sure this Cappuccino brown paper is acid free and archival grade to protect your work. This brown cartridge is well suited to dry media, such as pencils or chalk.

Binding

Our books are spiral bound with durable wire binding. Wiro-bound sketchbooks last longer than glued ones which deteriorate over time, plus they don’t fall apart when you pull a page out like traditional bound books. Combined with our tough covers, the spiral binding lets you stand the book up, lie it completely flat or fold it over to present your work.
